Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization consistently favor pathogenic over mutualistic fungi in grassland soils

Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization consistently favor pathogenic over mutualistic fungi in grassland soils

Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment may drive shifts in soil microbial communities. Here, the authors analyse nitrogen and phosphorus addition effects on soil fungi in a distributed grassland experiment across four continents, finding promotion of pathogens, suppression of mutualists, and no shifts in...
